Steph Curry hits game-winning 3 in Warriors preseason win over Kings
Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 23:12:48 GMT
SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors were down by as many as 18 points late in the third quarter. In the preseason, that kind of deficit might call for coaches to empty the bench and call it a loss. But the Warriors aren’t just trying to get through the preseason unscathed; a big deficit provided no better opportunity for this new-look team to mount a comeback together.The Warriors’ 116-115 win over the Sacramento Kings ended with a bang. Down two points with 11 seconds remaining on an inbound pass from Chris Paul, Steph Curry shook off De’Aaron Fox to create just enough space for a game-winning 3-pointer.The swish sent the Chase Center crowd into a frenzy typically reserved for meaningful basketball, but the comeback win meant something to the team, too. Golden State is now 4-0 in the preseason with a blowout win and narrow road win against the Lakers along with an overtime win and comeback victories against the Kings.“It’s been great for us,” head...Sports stars get set to compete at Pan American Games in Chile

The foreign ministers of Russia and North Korea met Thursday in Pyongyang for talks expected to focus on how to boost their military ties, days after the United States accused the North of sending fresh shipments of munitions to Russia to support its war efforts in Ukraine.Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov flew to Pyongyang on Wednesday for a two-day trip. During a reception speech later in the day, Lavrov said he thanked North Korea for its strong support for Russia’s war on Ukraine.The focus of outside attention to Lavrov’s visit is whether the two countries would provide any hints of how they would solidify their security cooperation or announce the timing for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s promised trip to Pyongyang to reciprocate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s visit to Russia’s Far East last month.During his travel to Russia, Kim met Putin at the Vostochny Cosmodrome, Russia’s most important domestic space launch center, and inspected other key Russian weapons-makin...MLB playoffs 2023: Suárez tries to give Phils 3-0 lead at D-Backs; Astros try to even ALCS at Texas

A Russian-American journalist working for a U.S. government-funded media company has been detained in Russia and charged with failing to register as a foreign agent, according to her employer. Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty editor Alsu Kurmasheva is the second U.S. journalist to be detained in Russia this year. Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was arrested for alleged spying in March. Kurmasheva, an editor with RFE/RL’s Tatar-Bashkir service, is being held in a temporary detention center, the Committee to Protect Journalists said, citing a Russian state news agency.The Tatar-Inform agency posted video which showed Kurmasheva being marched into an administrative building accompanied by four men, two of whom held her arms and wore balaclavas.

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union interior ministers met Thursday to discuss how to manage the impact of the war between Israel and Hamas on the bloc, after a firebomb assault on a Berlin synagogue and killings in Belgium and France by suspected Islamist extremists.Sweden hosted a meeting of ministers from eight countries, among them Germany, Belgium and France, focused on how to handle incidents where people burn the Muslim holy book, the Quran.Prosecutors are trying to establish whether that was a key motive for a Tunisian man who shot three Swedes in Brussels on Monday, killing two of them, ahead of a Belgium-Sweden soccer match in the capital.While the Quran burnings are not directly linked to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, they are a sign of rising tensions between religious and other communities in Europe.The war that began Oct. 7 has become the deadliest of five Gaza wars for both sides. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said Wednesday that 3,478 Palestinians have been ...European Commission approves a new geographical indication from Croatia - 'Meso turopoljske svinje'
Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 23:12:48 GMT
The Commission approved the addition of 'Meso turopoljske svinje' – as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) from Croatia.‘Meso turopoljske svinje' is the fresh meat and other edible parts of the carcass of castrated males and of females of the autochthonous Turopolje pig breed. The production area of ‘Meso turopoljske svinje' is confined to the area of continental Croatia, which consists of 13 counties and the city of Zagreb. ‘Meso turopoljske svinje' has a darker, redder colour, a more compact muscle texture and less surface secretion than pork of standard production. When consumed, the cooked meat has an elastic, juicy consistency, full of flavour and a specific aroma from the rendered fat of the meat. The abundance of forests, in particular oak, the numerous watercourses and the temperate climate of Turopolje have long favoured the development of pig-farming. For centuries, the farming of Turopolje pigs has been important for the livelihood of local inhabitants. This n...Latest news
